What is your character's proffession?

It's a bit of a weird profession really, but he grew to love it as time passed.

Imagine ancient not!Egypt, racism had been 'abolished' as much Apartheid has been abolished. It's not there by law, but racism is still very much a thing. Now my character is a halfling, a sort of in between, not brutish enough to be seen as a non-literal lowlife. And not human enough to be seen as normal.

So his family learned to stick to other skills to survive, becoming great bootlickers, assistants scribes. If there had been a law in the capitol, or a schism in the church, you could be damn well sure it was a halfling who wrote it down.
They don't come up with it, mind you, they're paid to write it down. That's all.

Now growing a little bored of his job, and with no way to progress the halfling found himself steaming for a new job. Something more adventerous.
Being surrounded by priests he landed himself a job of groundskeeper. But when the deserts are your grounds, and they're littered with pyramids the job takes a wholly different direction.
He did trap maintenance, travelling from pyramid to pyramid to see if they hadn't been broken open, and if the traps were still in working condition. This led to him becoming quite the skilled thief, without the checkered past that comes with.

Poor sod got caught in the actions of the party, and I'm not saying he's planning to backstab 'em and run when he can.

But he's doing just that.

>he is backstabbing the party
You are scum. I hope you stub your toe at night, tread on a lego brick and then jump on a metal d4

Actor, acting in cowboy movies doing his own stunts. Got the heroic shape and jawline, but is dull as shit. Thankfully, movies are still mute.

We are playing the Orient Express module for CoC, and he was one of the example characters. It's a blast overacting with him.

For all the good-reasons to be honest, he joined the party out of good service. Has been threatend by the lolrandumb evil party member with lethal force just for the fun of it. And was forced out of his own home and job by these people. They've done pretty much everything to mess with him, OC I can get the bants on with everybody, but IC they really fuck the little guy over.

Don't fall for the backstabbing is always shit meme because some guy on Veeky Forums told you, it's the easiest way to teach the party to stop messing with random weaker people, and the DM is in on it all.

That's fair. However, if you play with friends, then you might want to avoid pvp, because pvp is a group-killer.

True, true, it's a weak little shit desu, we're 7th level with point roll and he has 21 max HP as a thief.

His current plan is set up with contact with his home town and parents to clear his and his family's name. The party, him included, have been incited of assassinating the Emperor. So he's currently setting up an ambush under the guise of finding a MacGuffin, and the combat will most likely be a whole lot of guards on an island and him getting 1-shotted the first turn.

I just realized I have been playing a lot of old people lately

Mostly trading, sometimes raiding, sometimes wooing women with his muscles and elegant blonde beard.

He's a Barbarian who rolled hilariously high CHA.

She was a doctor in the military.

Is orc capitalism like normal capitalism?

One of them's a university student, but because it's JoJo, the point's kind of moot.
One of them was a resident of a low-tech world, then joined the navy as a marine, and now travels.
The final one was a low-level initiate of a church, then ran away, stole a ship and somehow recruited a crew despite having taken a vow of silence, and now travels, trying to make a profit by trading.

My character works in a junkyard in space. She breaks up spaceship hulks with her giant robot then goes out at the end of the day to eat junk food, smoke, get drunk and play arcade games and space pachinko.

She lives in a home converted from a broken down passenger shuttle with her partner and brother in law.

When the war in the colonies reached her colony she decided that the people ruining her peaceful life needed fucking up, set her affairs in order, took her giant robot and joined the local militia.

>Anima: BF Warlock
Surgeon, artificer, enchanter.
He personally builds and enchants the replacement limbs he provides for those who don't just want their limbs regrown via magic.

Preacher.

I spend most of my down time (not spent on crafting) spreading the good word and collecting donations.

In our D&D campaign, I was a motivational speaker (bard) before joining our merry coalition of jackassery and I now inspire the team with core values and positive reinforcement.

A street vendor for pharmaceutical goods.

I'm a Luchador set out on stealing a mask to affirm my heel status and mustache twirl villainy.

One was just an officer in the military who went on a dangerous expedition that eventually brought to the plane he's currently in

The other is a deposed dictator looking to raise money and an army to retake his throne

My paladin is a lawwoman, hunting down criminals *is* her job. Wizard used to be the librarian at her magical academy.
My priest was the sourest healer ever.

Like this one?

My Shadowrun character works at a maid cafe in her downtime, to maintain income/expenditure habits on her SIN.
Her main profession is still Shadowrunner, though, but it's not what she's taxed under. They get written up as 'private escort services', and she's trying to figure out how to claim cyberware and vehicles against taxes.

I mean, I guess you could have called him a freelance beast-slayer. Essentially, he would go out into the desert hunting jackals, though nobody paid him to do it, and he grew up in a communal village fed and quenched by an oasis. Other than that, he mainly served in the local militia, and later as a bodyguard of the village chief.
